Yesterday, Governor Gregoire announced the fourteen members who will "oversee state efforts to ensure that Washington remains the leading location in the world in which airplanes are designed and built."
The Governor established the Washington Council on Aerospace based on recommendations after a competitiveness report was released in April.
Among the fourteen serving on the council is Rep. Phyllis Gutierrez Kenney who chairs the House Community and Economic Development and Trade Committee.
“The aerospace industry is a vital component for our state’s economic foundation. It is important for us to maintain a state-of-the-art workforce at all levels of the aerospace industry to promote economic development and growth while also retaining the companies providing quality, family-wage jobs,” Kenney says.
“I want to thank the Governor for her stewardship and foresight in organizing this council of stakeholders who will make things happen for the aerospace industry in Washington State.”
